Hi SS

Thanks for sharing!

For goodness sake don't get rid of her! Oh sorry, I thought you were talking about the wife.........

You should look after any woman who wants to go fishing offshore and get her whatever she wants..........

In the mean time let her sit down the stern where the ride is softer and buy her a sports bra. A mate of mine had a similar problem with his boat and that was a 525 Stacer. Horrible ride up front, sort of bearable sitting as far back as you could get. Ideal would have been sitting on top of the outboard motor cover!
He ended up having to get knee reconstructions and the boat just needed welding.

Looking forward to seeing where this thread goes and in the mean time listen to Jeremy.

Cheers

she wears the sportz bra with a tight shirt to hold them in place but it doesnt work to well ,,,have try'd all options but as you know i stated the word woman and thats where the trouble starts.lololol.
might be cheaper to just take her on a charter boat once a month an more tolerable as there will be other to talk to ..lolollolol.thanx very much for your replys..

try holding them for her?

show your support.

apart from that - A fella I know sold his 609 stabi, bought a 2400 KC and is now going back to a stabi (759).

Calims it is too hard to baby the cat and requires too much care.

Mind you, I would keep the stabi so you can keep watching to boobs bounce :)

mate learn to slow down a bit when she with you having a wife who supports you when boating is a gold mine . just give her time and drop the hint that 24 whatever would be so much softer. its a bit like the toilet syndrome always show them the boat your after with a toilet installed your half way there

Ok, simple solution, she should get that reduction surgery, that way you can keep the boat your happy with , she can go fishing , and my missus can have the excess, so she can at least fill out a sports bra, see everyones a winner , including me.

Here's an idea next time your heading out i'll meet you at the ramp and Mrs stinky stabi can ride out with us and when you arrive at the destination she can hop back onboard with you! She'll get the magic carpet ride and you'll not have to deal with a grumpy sore wife;) Of course the downside will be that the pestering for a cat will increase but that's not a bad thing, 2x f60 yammies dont cost much to run!;) Of course 2x 75 e-tecs dont either!:P

Stinky,
Have you thought about a marine bean bag down the back. They provide a really comfortable seat & seem to absorb the bumps pretty well. I was on a boat in the US that had them & I nodded off at 30 knots in a reasonable sort of chop.
The other more expensive option is a seat fitted with a hydraulic shock absorber/coil spring suspension system. They have a lot of SS components to handle the marine environment.
Has got to be a lot cheaper than a boat swap. ;D;D;D;D
